Description

An ICTP-IAEA Hybrid Meeting

The event aims to provide students, young researchers, and young professionals with critical skills and tools in areas such as mathematical and computational techniques for modelling and simulation of complex nuclear systems, high performance computing, and computational methods for processing and analyzing large data sets, applied in nuclear science and engineering.

Topics

Basic concepts/tools for computational nuclear science and engineering
Fundamentals of nuclear observable challenges (computational methods for nuclear data; nuclear data for high fidelity, high performance reactor modelling and simulation)
Advanced modelling and simulation methodologies (integrated multi-physics modelling for nuclear fusion plasma science; nuclear physic analysis in support of reactor design; reactor multi-physics modelling combined with digital measurement data)
Open source data and codes for plasma/fusion/fission science and engineering
Advanced computational methods (ML; algorithm development for data analysis in nuclear research; HPC; high performance humans in computing; data sciences for reactor systems)
